Abstract
The disclosure embraces a bowl, container or reservoir for supporting or mounting plant pots and relates more particularly to bowls, containers or reservoirs configurated to be mounted or supported upon annularly-shaped or ring-like members of a support frame, the bowls, containers or reservoirs adapted to contain moisture or water and having interior plant pot engaging portions for normally supporting plant pots above the water or moisture whereby evaporation of the water or moisture whereby evaporation of the water or moisture provides an ambient environment or aura of high humidity for the potted plants.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1. A plant pot support container comprising a thin-walled member of elongated hollow concave configuration, said member having an imperforate-walled longitudinally-extending recess means adapted to accommodate a support body, said member having spaced interior planar surface areas adapted for supporting a plant pot.
2. A plant pot support container comprising a thin-walled elongated member of generally concave configuration, said member having an imperforate-walled longitudinal recess means adapted to accommodate a curved support body, said member having an imperforate-walled transverse recess means, the member having interior surface areas of the longitudinal and transverse means adapted for supporting a plant pot.
3. A plant pot support container comprising a thin-walled elongated hollow member of concave configuration, said member being of generally oval shape, said member having an imperforate-walled longitudinal recess means adapted to accommodate a curved support body, the member having centrally disposed imperforate-walled transverse recess means, said member having interior planar surface areas for supporting a plant pot.
4. A plant pot support container for resinous material having a thin wall and of generally concave configuration, said container having an imperforate walled longitudinal recess means adapted to accommodate a support member, said container having a plurality of spaced interior surface areas adapted for supporting a plant pot.
5. A thin-walled container of generally oval shape of hollow configuration for supporting a plant pot, said container having an inwardly extending longitudinal recess means adapted to accommodate a support member, said container having an inwardly extending transverse recess means, said recess means being defined by imperforate bridge portions and side walls, said bridge portions providing means for supporting plant pots of various diameters.
6. A holder for supporting a plant pot comprising a thin-walled concave member of hollow configuration, said member having an imperforate inwardly extending longitudinal recess means, the interior of said member having groups of planar portions wherein the portions of one group are in a plane above a plane of portions of another group, said groups of planar portions being adapted to support plant pots of various diameters.
7. A holder for supporting a plant pot comprising a thin-walled hollow container of resinous material having longitudinal recess means adapted to receive a support member, said recess means being formed with imperforate side walls and connecting bridge portions, a plurality of spaced planar surfaces interiorly of the container for supporting plant pots, the regions interiorly of the hollow container defined by the recess means providing reservoir chambers for containing water.
8. The holder according to claim 7 including transverse recess means in the container, the transverse recess means being formed with imperforate side walls and connecting bridge portions, the said longitudinal and transverse recess means defining four chambers interiorly of the container for accommodating water.
9. A holder for supporting plant pots comprising a hollow member, said member having a longitudinal recess and a transversely extending recess, said recesses being defined by side walls and bridge portions, a central portion joined with the side wall portions and bridge portions, the bridge portions having groups of planar portions wherein the planar portions of one group are above a plane of the portions of another group, said groups of planar portions adapted to support plant pots of various diameters, the central portion being in a plane below the planes of the planar portions of said groups.
10. The holder according to claim 9 wherein the bridge portions, the side walls and the central portion are imperforate providing reservoir chambers in the hollow member adapted to contain water.
11. A holder for supporting a plant pot comprising a thin-walled hollow member of generally oval shape, said member having longitudinal recess means adapted to receive a support means, said member having transverse recess means, said recess means being defined by imperforate side walls and connecting bridge portions, and spaced surface areas interiorly of the hollow member for supporting plant pots.
12. The holder according to claim 11 wherein the hollow member is of resinous material.
13. The holder according to claim 11 wherein the hollow member is of metal.
14. A plant pot holder comprising a thin-walled member of generally concave configuration, longitudinal recess means in said member defined by side walls and bridge portions, transverse recess means defined by side walls and bridge portions, said bridge portions having groups of planar portions, one group of planar portions being in a horizontal plane, the planar portions of the second group being in a horizontal plane above the plane of the first group, said groups of planar portions being adapted to support plant pots of various diameters.
15. The holder according to claim 14 wherein the member is of resinous material.
16. The holder according to claim 14 wherein the bridge portions are joined by a central portion, said central portion being in a horizontal plane below the planes of the groups of planar portions.
17. The holder according to claim 14 wherein the side walls of the recess means, bridge portions and central portions are imperforate, the side walls defining chambers adapted to contain quantities of water.Cited by (0)
